In , that ..view he thought the House bound to set a fixed mark of .its approbation 'otk• f a measure which it had repeatedly sartalioned with its full assent, in a variety of forms. He therefert4lef signed, alter the present question should be disposed of, in the manner in which he was sure the House must from, every principle of reason and consistency deal with it, to propose a Resolution,' stating that They fiqu.e, considering his Majesty's Answer to. the ossiaa,lleclaration; and the tats laid down in that Paper, and the determination of the Enemy to com bine ita the Powers of the Continent in a maritime conleXeracy against Great Britain, cloth highly ap proie of the -prompt and vigorous measures .taken by, his Majesty's Government to disconcert and de feat those hostile plans. Mr. PORCHER highly approved of the Expe `dition to Copenhagen. He,expeaed to have found some novelty in the arguments advanced to bring the House to decide against the merits of the mea sure, after it had 40 often sanaioned it with unlimited approbation. But when he reviewed the whole speech of •the Honourable Gentleman on the other side, he found nothing in it but old friends with :flew faces. • [lick the means of carr)ing the-Aesign into execution were provided * and the Enamel" of .The execution, were entitled to . the highest commenda, tion.' ..,.Mr,ABERCROMBIE went at length into 114 case, and argued decidedly against the justice, and policy of the Expedition.

What would have been the charge against them if they had, not , exercised their fore thought and guarded us from the evils of a dangerous onlderacy ? Ministers were sworn to their Sove reign .and the People to defend their liberties and lives ; they had 'performed a Mord duty, and ren dered 'to the country the service of their faculties.— Mr. Thornton then adverted to the Law of Nations, and said there could be no law of nations while the law of France was substituted in. itS' stead. France; Austria, Prussia, Russia, Denmark, all the Continent was made but one nation, and joined in one com 4 mon cry, " the liberty of the seas, and the paelliT cation of Europe." He adverted to the History of Air. H. LUSHINGTON contended, that there Denmark for sev e ral ye a r s p ast , an d a ll u d e d to` her was no necessity to call for the Expedition, nor was violent seizure upon Hamburg!).

The Noble Lord"had given a charader to the Emperor of RusSia which did, not belong to him. He had been sele6ted for his mis sion. because he was considered as partial to the Emperor, and he now says he was not to be trusted. Why had be not told his Court so ? Another rup ture might, have occurred, but unquestionably the rupture that did take place between Great Britain and Russia was occasioned by the attack on Copen hagen. He did not believe any of the conclusions of. the Noble Lord, and particularly that by taking six-' teen • Ships, the strength .of the Maritime Confede racy of the North was deStroyed. Was it incom patible with the assertion of Russia, `that the secret articles of the Treaty of Tilsit did not militate against England. (which he firmly believed), that the Em peror should recommend, through, his Minister, to the Noble Lord to advise his Government to make a peace ?

He contended that the p ies o f the Expeditions to Lisbon andCopenhagett were not at all parallel; and then entered into a :letaile3 defence' of that to Lisbon, chewing; by citing several extracts from the iostructions, that there had been I wo patific propositions submitted to ^ the Portuguese Gwern- . mein before any actual farce was to be employed for obtaining theposseciion of the Portugnlse Fleet.

Though' the; eventual' hostility with .BUssia was to' have been apprehended, they yet had a hope, that in, the inlet vat' some circumstances might occur, which, if improved, might preserVe the relations between the two Na tion.undisturbed; This was precisely consonant to the views held out, and the communicatibns.made by his Noble Friend, But whilst.they felt a hope that war might be avoided, it Was their duty not to have neglected any measure of security against the com bination of Russia , _ which was the most probable alternative. The Hon. Gentleman who had jest lat doWn, had again insisted on an argument whit:kali who-had precededhim, appeared to have abandoned, viz. that the ,Expedition to Copenhagen had pro duced the war with Russia. if the Papers .on the table did not prove that not to have been the case ; if the Ressian Declaration, since published; if 'she condutt of Russia towards Sweden did not disprove it, he could refer to the authority of a person of the first rank in Russia, to prove the contrary to have been thecase: Countßonianzovi,in his itnerview with the English merchants at St. Petersbnrgh, stated, as one of the instatices of our barbarous contin'et 'to Res ale, that we had detained a. frigate laden with specie, to whiCh they replied; that it had happened after a Declaration 'of War ; ,aye, said Count Romadzow, but did' we not stiffer the Astrea frigate, laden . with specie, to-depart after we had determined to go to war with Great Britain The Astrea had sailed from IViemel on the 27th of July, months before any Declaration of War, • and wet-ks be fore any intelligence could hive received of the, Expedition to Copenhagen. This circum stance sheaved; that that Expedition was not the cause of the war. As to the indignation expressed. by the Hun. Gentleman, because his Noble Friend had stated, that any Administration would hiVe acted in the same mariner under the same circumstances, he had but to '.observe, that as his Noble Friend 'thought diff:rently of the measure from the Ho. nourahle Gentlemap, it was not surprising, trig should have said that those Ministers ; -who had undertaken the L,pedition ,to Lisbon, would have 'acted in the same manner at Copenhagen.
